The Publisher
This comprehensive volume offers a state-of-the-art exploration of the
theoretical base and practical applications of organization development.
Thoroughly revised and updated, the sixth edition reflects recent
developments in OD usage, its expansion into new areas, current research,
and an evaluation of OD's capabilities and limitations. The authors address
the rapidly changing context of globalization, intensified competition and
collaboration, and high-interest matters such as Total Quality Management (TQM)
and large-scale organizational change.
